They had never met Ethan, yet he had orchestrated the deaths of eight people. Among the eight, five were forced to take their own lives, while the remaining three fled the country, severely injured.
Even the CEOs lost contact with the three of them. It was as though they had vanished into thin air. No one could find them.
However, just a few days later, the CEOs learned about their mysterious deaths. They were killed in another country, and their families had been wiped out.
The group of bosses got so afraid that they ran, but no matter what, they could not accept their fates. With them dead, all their money and assets were transferred to a mysterious
account.
After that, Aqua City received huge funding to accelerate its development. That was when they knew Ethan was the person behind their mysterious and gruesome deaths.
“This is Ethan Rivers. It’s best to expect the worst. One misstep and we will be joining the rest in hell.”
The one who spoke was Thomas Youngman, the owner of multiple paper factories across the country. He, too, wanted to expand into Aqua City due to its abundant wood resources, excellent water transport routes, and cheap labor.
He knew two of the individuals who had tried to deal with Ethan. One of them hung himself in his house, and the police found a will on his desk with the same phrase written over a hundred times, saying, “Save me.” The other one, on the other hand, died at his parents‘
hands.
Thomas could never forget them. Even to this day, he still could not comprehend how they had met such fates. What did Ethan do to make one of them write “Save me‘ a hundred times on the will and the other die at his parents‘ hands?
“Ethan Rivers has been missing for a long time” said Clark Forester, a businessman. working in the glass industry who sought to set up a factory in Aqua City.
“If he is still around, North Hill and Seaside wouldn’t be in such a mess; if it’s a trap to draw us out, then he has overestimated himself Why would he go to such lengths just to deal with us??
They all felt frustrated hearing that, but it was the cold hard truth.
The CEOs who teamed up to deal with Ethan three years ago were smart, well–connected, and wealthy, yet they were no match for him. In fact, some of them were richer and more well–connected than those gathered today.
As for the eleven chosen individuals, they were the elite of elites. If Jamire, Thomas, Clark,

and the others could get their help, their assets would easily multiply tenfold. Yet, even with so many talented people teaming up, they all fell to Ethan and died a gruesome death.
They exchanged intelligence, confirming that than had been missing for some time now. In his absence, Stephen was the one managing Riveria.
“Stephen Quinn might come from the Quinns f Metropolis, but he’s useless. Even the mayor of Lytton played him like a fool.”
“Howard Green scammed a huge amount of money and weapons from Stephen, and he’s still roaming free.”
“He’s also the reason North Hill and Seaside are in a mess.”
They were excited when they learned of Stephen’s background and what he had done. “With him governing Riveria, we would be the fools not to earn billions out of this!”
“This is a gift from heaven!!”
“I already have a plan in mind,” one more person spoke.
He was Oliver Fox, a businessman in the steel industry.
“Sure, Stephen is a fool who causes nothing but trouble, but we have to test him first. Let’s start with a honey trap.”
When their predecessors were up against Ethan, they planned many perfect plans, but Ethan foiled them easily, ultimately resulting in their deaths. However, that did not stop them from using the same strategies against Stephen now.
“A honey trap? You better be careful with that one.”
The others had goosebumps when they heard of the plan.
The last person who sent a woman to Ethan’s side was killed by the very woman before she took her own life. The two of them died a miserable death.
